If you want to scope out missions, do so in your pod. NPCs will not shoot pods. I do this all the time to get bookmarks for the third part of Dread Guristas Fleet Staging Point (the plex that shoots a 6000 dps torpedo at you).

Keep in mind if you're only webbed and not warp disrupted/scrambled, you can still warp out.


6000 dps torp lol. yeah if your in a battleship running a mwd with no resists.

Yeah, I used my Caracal somewhat over 2 years ago to run Level 2's and into 3. Train up all those missile skills up (yes even Guided Missile Precision) through Cruise Missiles and most Level 4's in a Raven will be a snap.

Missiles are easy to direct specific damage types of the 4.

And get those Shields up on all forms especially the resistance Hardeners. I agree about the ECM, but that can wait on some of the more important Core Fitting Centric Skills.

When confident get Faction Caracal. The T2 Cerberus version does Level 3's quite well too.


do NOT get a faction caracal or a cerb, ever, unless you are bent on level 2s for the rest of eve. Just get a drake for l3s, way better in every way.

Hopefully that will change in the near future, but as of now it has not.

They do level 3's quite nicely as I stated, so you are just being pessimistic....and wrong.

May as well get the Cerberus with Cruiser V and why not ?

because

1. it is worse in every single way than a drake except a minor increase in speed
2. it costs a hell of a lot more

also, missioning is done to make ISK, meaning the quicker you do them, the more ISK you get. Therefore, proposing using something sub par ever is just a stupid idea. Especially for new members, efficient ISKmaking is important to move to larger ships.

I can understand the need to mess around with something different once in a while, but a cerb or navy caracal for missions is not the first ship you should buy when you start with L3s. They are more skill intensive to fly in L3s successfully and way less efficient. I am not being pessimistic, I am being helpful.

in the current form on retribution, a standard tiericided caracal is probably even more useful than cerb/navy caracal. It's funny how bad they are.
